Chris Johnson set for surgery

Thats the thing, you CANT feed him the ball and hope like hell he breaks one

If you go back to his first 3 seasons, his game longs were along the lines of

6, 4, 7, 2, 1, 0, 20, 3

Now its

2, 1, 1, 4, 3, 2, 20

(those are made up numbers, but you get my point)

Now YPC wise, it can turn out to be around the same, but he wasnt boom or bust.

You cant keep getting 3 n outs and putting our QB's in 3rd and longs, and expect to have him fed the ball. I would have straight up flipped my **** of Munch/Loggains would have fed him the ball 20+ times with the production he was getting.

It used to be, he was a solid runner who helped move the chains. Now, you have to keep feeding him the ball and hope he breaks a bigger one, to up his YPC and not make him useless.

He got the ball back then, as much as he did, because he was not hurting the team when he was force fed the ball. Now if you do it, its 3 and out, 3 and out, 3 and out, OH **** A BIG ONE, 3 and out.

I hope Whiz finds a way to use him because I believe he can still be a playmaker. However I would strongly object feeding him the ball with no production, just to get our moneys worth.

I also fully EXPECT our line to be much better next season. That will help CJ a lot as well.

Actually cj is better suited in a power run game and the line would be better with it. CJs best runs are with a power scheme...zone blocking allowed defenders by scheme to get in the backfield and touch him before he gets a head of steam. Denvers running backs were stocky and short thus it didn't affect them as much. Go back to sticking a man on a man and cj will thrive again.

With the exception of Levitre it seems to me like our line is tailor-made for man blocking.
